Champions League: Harry Kane Powers Bayern Munich To 2-1 Win Over Celtic

Bayern Munich found the net on either side of halftime through Michael Olise and Harry Kane but had to endure late pressure from hosts Celtic before securing a 2-1 win in their UEFA Champions League playoff first leg on Thursday (February 13, 2025). Olise바카라�s spectacular shot in the 45th minute put the German side in front and Kane doubled the lead with a 49th-minute volley at the far post. Celtic, who put the ball in the net with Nicolas Kuehn, but had the effort ruled offside in the very first minute of the game, cut the deficit in the 79th minute thanks to Daizen Maeda바카라�s close-range header to inject late drama into the match.
